Batelco offers shared postpaid mobile packages

Manama, July 24, 2014

The packages provide the facility of having one account with up to four SIM cards, said a report in the Gulf Daily News (GDN), our sister publication.

The service is targeted at families, who can have one bill but individual SIM cards for family members or alternatively the service can be used by an individual with multiple devices.

Subscribers of the new shared packages on a one-year contract are also being offered a free 4G LTE mobile broadband device.

"These days, the majority of people own at least one smart device but many customers have a number of devices such as Onets, routers, MiFis, tablets and smartphones," Batelco Consumer Division general manager Muna Al Hashimi said.

"With the packages, such customers can have up to four SIM cards on one account that could be used on multiple devices at the same time," Al Hashimi added. - TradeArabia News Service
